[Japan Bonus]
[Music: Orjatsalo, Words: Orjatsalo]
Mercy is for weak
It it blood we all bleed
To kill or to die
The cause of my life
For king for country the patriot has died
In vain he ended his life
Raven flies high, high above the fading light
The covering darkness hides wasteland from the eyes
We all gave our lives
In vain we all died
Blood of our kin
It tainted the soil
Raven flies high, high above the fading light
The covering darkness hides wasteland from the eyes
[Chorus]
Wash away our sins
Salvation in the waves
The seas cold embrace
All your tears in vain
To the night they fade away
The darkness swallows light of day
Only sea remains
[Solo]
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Ristolainen]
There is only one king
We will ride beside him
Troops are fearless
And we are at his disposal
At the battlefield
We'll form the toughest shield
The honor of the king
Is in our hands
Our master is guarded
By crew of two hundred men
Red sun reveals a misty ground
And silent - has fell the battle's sound
Deceivers - came to claim his crown
And no one's left alive
New day will arise
[Chorus]
Hail to our lord
He has led us with his sword
We shall follow his footsteps for eternally
Wherever he'll go, the army will follow
With the strength
Of two hundred men
[Solo]
[Words: Orjatsalo]
[Music: Orjatsalo, Keranen]
Light's fading, night is calling
Covering the worries of day
Wind whispers, leaves are falling
Slowly light fades, comes to shade
Following the path to a silent vale
Whispers of wind call me to stay
Nightfall is weaving its spell
Darkness hides the land within its shell
Twilight lights my way as I flow
Realms beyond imagination I go
Blinded by time,
Of the years that have passed by
Left to astray
My minds own way
Nightfall is weaving its spell
Darkness hides the land within its shell
Twilight lights my way as I flow
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Orjatsalo]
Dying hope, failed quest
I dream my life again
My time is running out
and soon my life will end
I have seen my life
Fading in front of my eyes
I have seen my time
Wasted in pointless lies
I can't reach your life
When all hope is lost
Our dreams will sink with hope
As our lives came to end
Now I reach you through time
Oh, won't you please come with me
Broken dreams, torn hero
Dying hope I am
I can't reach you, I can't save you
I've failed you
I have failed my people, I have failed their trust
Now my soul is rising with the wind to the stars
I can sense the wind is rising
I can feel the storm is closing
I can hear lightning cracking
Sky burning white
[Chorus]
Now I feel wind rising, carrying me to the stars
Into the light I will fly with you
Away from this world, we will leave our lives
Blown away by the rising wind
[Solo]
[Music: Ker¤nen, Vuorinen; Words: Ristolainen, Orjatsalo]
The ocean so vast, can not see skyline
Sun's burning hot and the sea's dead calm
Traces of pain, flashes of fear
Could it all have been true
Tiny wave send by God
Build up into a wall
To wash away the sins of mankind
Leaving no traces of life
[Chorus]
The price of wealth was too high to pay
Disaster struck over opulence
Gone was all that glory
And bale was total
The prophecy was true
Thus it came to fullfil
Now return, return to the sea
[Solo]
So many men gave up to the sea
It washed away their pride
Greed, vanity, shallowness
Rectified by waves
Now the city rests in peace
In a cold lonely tomb
In the depths of sea
Aeons of wealth came to end
Into sea they descent
[Solo]
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Tyni, M¤kinen]
All is lost
There's nothing to gain
Time has gone
Nothing but pain
Dreaming of freedom, walking in the rain
In silent night I see all what's left
I end my life of hate and regret
My only wish is to live and forget
I give my life, I give up my soul
I have no fear, I have no place to go
[Bridge]
I only wish to end this nightmare
I only want a way out from this life
[Chorus]
There is nothing but grief in my heart
Only lonelyness by my side
Cold night out somewhere calls me quietly
Waiting for the miracle this pains adore
So give me way out fo this life
End this nightmare give me hope
Darkness embracing wintry eves falling
All in my burned cell I say you farewell
[Bridge]
[Words: Keranen]
[Music: Keranen]
Time is running so fast
This moment that you live
Instantly everything is past
And you wonder where the time has gone
When you were young
You thought I can do that tomorrow
But in moments the years have gone
You feel that you are too old, now it's too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Live, and make true all of your dreams
When you are young
Memories are gold, when you are old
[Chorus]
Just Memories of Time
Live forever over our lives
They will see the future
To the end of the time
This little moment that we live here
Don't let us waste it in vain
Let's sail at full speed straight on
Every single dream
Is made to come true for all of us
When we believe in the future
And what it will bring to us
Look behind
The curtain of the world
You'll see how beautiful all could be
If you take challenge of this wonderful life
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Words: Makinen]
[Music: Keranen]
Shadow lies bloodless on the hill
Frozen in the night of forgiven
Ceased to exist, in one life
As only the memory that remains
In the woods, where's eternity?
I sit in the valley of greed and daylight
Love to the stars and my Elven-dryad
My own savior, angel of night, my betrothed
For aeons I was with you, my friends
Amongst the mortals in their dreams
Burned out in the one star's end
Among enlightened thousands shining
[Chorus:]
Gazing from the sky, night in my eyes
As Elf I watch you, in my memories
So bright, doomed to die in starlight
Eternally I walk in the twilight
And bright are the stars that smile on me
And great is the joy I had with you
And remember me as the wolf that stares
With love, in the forest of dreams
With yellow eyes, all wise with color of Grey
So many times I was a stranger with you
Just a tiny little shadow that frightened
All days and nights, ran away in the rain
Where the trees are living and flowers are blue
[music: Ker¤nen, Words: Orjatsalo]
There she was standing
'Neath a waterfall
His heart is bleeding
For that memory
Her eyes they haunt him
For years to come
Misleading his heart
Tears it apart
Years have passed by
From that night
Memory still haunts me
Fate still decides
Way of our life
Choice was never ours
Make my heart
Whole again
Oh! Please stay with me
[Chorus]
Angels eyes, I saw in you
I reach for that light, it shines so bright
Touching my heart, tearing apart
To have you in my arms
Angels Eyes
Ingating feelings, flames are reaching to the heart
Fiery emotions, 'till the embers burn
Touching the soul, desire breaching mind
Reach out for stars, you will burn like fool
Who gave his heart in vain
Do you not fear me?
To see, it is to believe
Reach out for my heart
For you I give it to keep
[Solo]
[Words: Orjatsalo]
[Music: Orjatsalo]
Come with me my friend
You'll see a place beyond reality
Fly into the night with me
Together through eternity
Earth they call this place they live
Look (at) the mountains, oceans so deep
Hatred, fear, intolerance
Peace will never have a chance
School too hard for man to learn
Were those lessons from the past
Time will show 'em answers true
One day they will learn to
[Chorus]
Fly with me toward the morning light
You will see what lies beyond the night
Place so real, where is no fear
No need to shed any tears
[Solo]
Come on lady, take my hand
It's time to let the new winds blow
Let's forget the past - That has truly gone too fast.
Here we are just you and me
With the time we've never seen
There is so much to learn - This is the next big turn
[Bridge:]
We can lift each other higher and higher
Like a butterfly we will - Live a new life
[Chorus:]
Between earth and sky, we all live and we all die
Ask the Moon or ask the Sun, There's only one life to
live
As a pair (together) we're better (stronger) than we know
Like a New Life (yea)
This is a fine day like any other day
To make that pushing move
That makes a difference - Takes closer to the change.
Here we are just you and me - Together we are free
There is so much to see - Much more we can be
[Bridge]
[Words: Ristolainen]
[Music: KerÙnen]
Beautiful bride
and undaunted knight
Are lying in bed, holding hands
Side by side
They started their life
As husband and wife
And now it's time to show
How much they care for each other,
How far they're willing to go?
He moved on real nice
And made her come twice
But then he wanted
To put on some spice
Please hear me prey
I want you to stay
As still as you can be
[Chorus:]
I gave you a taste and you want for more
Let me come to your garden through your back door
Is there anything sweeter in whole wide world
Than ride with this magical wild horse
Oh, I'll taste you in my mouth
My hunger for you makes me howl like a hound
Shout, shout, shout, shout for more
I insist for another round
Ruthless pain is killing me
I cannot see the sun
We fought the mighty adversary
Still we haven't won
Waiting for my destiny
Grim reaper calls on me
Brace myself for eternity
Yet red and gold I see
I can hear the massive wings
And soothing tears I feel
Life begins to fill my veins
My wounds they start to heal
A faint scent of cinnamon
Reaches me trough air
I can see my savior
Flame up as a flare
Spread your wings
And shed your healing tears
Let the fire purify
In full blaze
You will meet the end
And then you shall transcend
A tantric resurrection
The city of the sun
A beautiful reflection
Of life spent on the run
In the atom's heart
Splitting souls inside
Vivid colors burn my eyes
On this wild bird I ride
Slowly gaining power
Patience is the key
What you need is a flame
That can burn you again
And the feeling of ecstasy
Wings like a bolt of lightning
Soaring to the sky
Only then, in the end
When you can see again
For so many times I've burned my wings
Trying to reach out for the beauty of the Sun
I spread my wings and try to fly to the horizon
The pale light of dawn shines in my hopeful eyes
[Chorus:]
The dream of Icaros was to fly crimson sky-
Higher than our gods of dying ancient might
I reach for the memory of dying starlight-
To paint my name with fires of morning sky
The Sun burns my eyes as I fly higher-
My father's words have faded from my mind
The beauty of it all burned my eyes-
As I fell from the sky the dreams fallen in vain
[Chorus]
With wings of Icaros I search my place in life-
With dreams so fragile that can't bare this life
With wings of Icaros - I could not fly-
With wings of Icaros - I fell from the sky
What is the matter with you?
What the hell you think you do?
Everyone can see you trough
You act like a holy savior
Somehow some damn superior
Oh! What a strange behavior
How does it feel to be so damn, self-satisfied?
What does it take to get your feet on the ground?
You're so lame with your fame
No one can ever take you for real
You and your friends ain't more than yesterday's news
The smell of green will always turn your nose
And that ain't right to those who have put their faith
in you
You're yesterday's news
On the way to stardom, fortune and fame
Breaking promise is this the name of the game
Like a spineless, crave fool
No one's gonna trust in you
You're so lame with your fame
No one can ever take you for real
You and your friends ain't more than yesterday's news
The smell of green will always turn your nose
And that ain't right to those who have put their faith
in you
You're so lame with your fame
No one can ever take you for real
You and your friends ain't more than yesterday's news
The smell of green will always turn your nose
And that ain't right to those who have put their faith
in you
Eternity's long minutes are
Flowing from my hands
Like a dream I run under the sun
Like a dust in the wind I fly
World's child's running
In the winds of the world
Touching the sky flying high
Life's so great, I will not wait
I want it all now
[Chorus:]
With open mind, open eyes
I went, I saw
And always wanted more
Fire in my heart
Makes me move on
World's child lives so fast life
Temptations of the world
Has occupied my mind
So much, too fast and all of it
I wish this would last
So young, so brave without a line
Time will come to thinks about the life
Today's carousel spins too fast
I can't see the end of the line
Take a look at the powers that be
Still believing they're making history
Cruising on that diesel course
Forcing life into a long-dead horse
Every time one well is emptied
Another foreign strike is pre-empted
We're living on old fossil lives
And lead by men cheating for their prize...
Wars, shame and self-abuse
Failed states are on the news
All nations have to choose
Survival or the noose
We got the world to lose
Old men draining the land
Their souls turning to holes
Penniless men were given their pens
And the hanged-man rules
With his split-brain views
Blinded like mice we try to throw the dice
With our hands tied up
Cheated and down, there was not a sound
When my father was silenced in shame
Old and frail, just a forgotten tale
So they thought, but I'll prove them wrong
Learning from the best
Training hard, I passed their test
Heading home, I don't have time for rest
I am searching all around
Like a hunter, like a hound
And I focus on this task
They will meet their fate at last
I am searching everywhere
When I see them hiding scared
They will face my deadly stare
I choose to fight
For my pride and birthright
There are no other choices for me
Once I am done,
My life purpose is gone
My story has and uneventful end
Here I stand and their blood stains my hand
Yet somehow I feel so relieved
I understand I must soon kill again
There's meaning in just being mean
Learning from the best
Training hard, I passed their test
Heading home, I don't have time for rest
I am searching all around
Like a hunter, like a hound
And I focus on this task
You will meet your fate at last
I am searching everywhere
When I see you hiding scared
You will face my deadly stare
I choose to fight
For my pride and birthright
There are no other choices to me
I can no stop
Oh I love to fight too much
My victims are my purpose of life
And when at the end of my life
I see what I've done
I cannot help but feel
That once again all the pain
For our children will run trough
[Music: Orjatsalo, Ker¤nen, Words: Orjatsalo]
More that you'll get, the more will you want
Nothing can please you, to cease you to yearn
You reach out for sun, you bore under ground
What lies there for you?
Searching for riches and treasures of old
Nothing can please your hunger for gold
Burrowing under, reaching for stars
But now you have reached too far
No! What have you done
Now it is time to pay
[Chorus]
Feel your heart
Beating in the dark
You have invoked the beast beneath
No one can hear your scream
Now the spiral is spinning too fast
Any second might be your last
Your heart was led by greed
From your soul the beast will feed
[Solo]
Once again I feel my heart
Beating my lifeblood through my veins
Woe upon thee and thy kind
For thou hast 'wakened the slumber of mine
Hatred shall be my wine
Fear my meat
With your soul I shall feast
Here I am again
Scanning the horizon
Maybe I hope that you are coming from there
From behind the rising sun
Don’t let me down again
Don’t make me go to bed alone
Come and fulfil this emptiness
Which preys inside of me
Tearing me piece by piece
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, let this be the day
Give me the sign; turn a new page in my life
Take me to a higher level in this stupid game
After so many wasted years
Last gaze behind
If you are still coming?
But I just see worlds eyes staring back
Ready to freeze our souls to death
Alone here in the amongst the millions of people
Here I wander and look for you
Face after face, I’ve seen in the streets
None of those belongs to you
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, let this be the day
Give me the sign; turn a new page in my life
Take me to a higher level in this stupid game
Sun is closing it's eyes on us
I remember your touch
Close me into your arms
Give me hope
Come my darling, with me this night
Let's flt like birds in the sky
For the first time you'll be mine
In this magical night
I embrace you the final time
As moon paints the night
In shadows and darkness
You are my light
Forest whispers your name
As I kiss your sweet lips
For the las time you are mine
In this magical night
[Chorus:]
Dance between the rainbows
In the fields of love,
Emotions burning like fires
In the morning sky,
In twilight we are one!
Under the silvery light
I have to let you go
And you'll fly free
To the silent night
We are one forever
Together in our hearts
The memory of you and I
Will never fade away
Step aside, let us rise
Without fear into the storm
You've been out of place in time,
Since the day when you were born
You are forced into the wheel
The soundless wheel you cannot see
Let me be the one to
Guide you far from that life
Too long you have been living in sin
Wasting what you have and what you could
Now the storm's coming, well!
Let's go face the rain!
Just let them know
I'm going to be here
I got answers and nothing to fear
I can take what the heavens create
I got my own believes, I don't need yours
I'm going to stay the course
Let's sway and pray
In the name of the storm
It's all the same, part of the game
Where you and I are pawns
Suddenly the clouds appear
The colors shades are green
What's a lightning like this time
When everything's surreal?
Just let them know
I'm going to be here
I got answers and nothing to fear
I can take what the heavens create
I got my own believes, I don't need yours
Just let them know
I'm going to be here
I got answers and nothing to fear
I can take what the heavens create
I got my own believes, I don't need yours
You passed trough this life
Born into mankind,
Mortal sins awaited you
I walked in the light
Never wanting to stray
Still your shade took over me
Now moving on
Departing so soon, so soon, so soon
Oh, I'd like to stay with you
But there are no angels no more
No angels no more
Darkness was the seed
And truly part of me
All sweet things must have an end
Yet again this pain is real
I know it will disappear
The shade is covering me soon
We won't see again
In certainty there's peace
And what we had here will remain
So beautiful and pure
Departing so soon, so soon, so soon
Oh, I'd like to stay with you
But there are no angels no more
The heavens are gone and so is our hell
Departing so soon, so soon, so soon
Oh, I'd like to stay with you
But there are no angels no more
[Words: Orjatsalo, Keranen]
[Music: Keranen]
As my mind flows by
It wanders through the time
Darkness hides the light of day
And time goes by
It reaches shrouded mind
Shadows veil this unsound smile
[Pre-Chorus:]
Shadows hide the light
Bleakness fills my mind
I'll rise on my wings tonight
[Chorus:]
With the wind I fly at the nightly sky
I ride the lightning of the storm
I'm the hero of the tales
The son of thunder from the forgotten dales
This dreamland will be mine
Refuge from Reality
Dreaming's my way
To another better place
The door to my dreamtale
The tale never ends
Stories reaching through the time
Come with us and fly to the dark
[Pre-Chorus:]
Shadows hide the light
Bleakness fills my mind
I'll rise on my wings tonight
[Chorus:]
With the wind I fly at the nightly sky
I ride the lightning of the storm
I'm the hero of the tales
The son of thunder from the forgotten dales
This dreamland will be mine
May it be a star?
A shining gem cut from the purest of heart
To light the way out of the shadows and dark
A fraction of dream
A memory to shine forevermore
To enlighten like a beacon light in the night
[Bridge:]
In the dark of night
New beam of light
To guide and light the way in the dark
Feelings of supremacy
I feel my rage unchained
[Chorus:]
Make my song ring through air
Make it shine like the stars in the night
As I give it to all of you
Make my song known to all
As I shove my song right down to your throat
And I give you what you deserve
What is a star?
An image wrought by those who could care less
Projection of their sick misguided brains
What became a song?
Simplicity bled in the altar of stars
And forever I shall mourn for it's fate
[Bridge]
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Ristolainen]
I close my eyes and hear your voice
You will always be my only choice
As you speak the words of love
I sense the warmth and feel so calm
I barely feel your fingertips
Across my skin and on my lips
The feeling that you are close to me
Makes me shiver, makes me weep
[Chorus]
No one is more than you
Nothing compares to you
If you give my love away
You'd better know the game you play
'Cause my heart will loose a home
If you will go
[Solo]
I wish this night to last forever
And we could always be together
But by the dawn you'll be gone
And once more I'll be left all alone
Before you go my precious one
My only love, my brightest sun
I have one wish before you fly
Please come back tomorrow night
[Words: Orjatsalo]
[Music: Keranen]
As the sun rises
I see our banners flowing in the wind
And the sounds of trumpets calling for war
All that night I lay awake
Thinking you, thinking war
The madness and despair I have seen
Now the time has come
We will charge to our doom
Arrows are whistling by my ears as we ride
[Pre-Chorus]
Please my guardian angel
Let me see my love again
In the mercy I thrive
Shelter me, as I shelter mine
[Chorus]
I'm riding away
From the light of the day
A letter left behind to lighten my way
I'm writing to you
Maybe (the) last time now
Please let me see your face once more again
Screaming men I left behind
I am sure they all will die
Blood is covering my armor and my sword
Where is the honour? The code we all held?
In this madness we all turn to beasts
Gathered at a grim feast
Our banner is down
We are scourged to death
Flash of pain was the last thing I saw in my life
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I'm dying away, I'm leaving today
My rusting sword, lost, alone in this fray
I wrote to you
My last farewell
[Words: Ahola]
[Music: KerÙnen]
Cry out loud, the pain you feel it's the
Only way to make people see that you
Live and breathe, like humans do
In their hearts they know it's true
From the darkness into the light
Find out hope that lies within
Wipe out those tears for the past years
Forget what has been
[Chorus:]
Lost souls, lives unknown
Long forgotten yet near you and I
Hear lost souls, they're grieving alone
While we crave more and more
To our own selves
Day by day you feel something's near and the
Shivers run down at your spine, There are
People you know, people you don't
But something is right in between
From the daylight into the night
Drown in and feel the pain
Wipe out that grin out of your face
Don't forget what has been
The mighty dragon in her lair
There is no daylight and no air
There's pleasure, a treasure
There lies an endless nightmare
Go inside if you dare
Many heroes tried and failed
The lonely dragon in her lair
She-s got gold but she doesn't care
She-s waiting, for someone
To hold and not to run
She wants love, she wants passion
Many years she tried and failed
[Chorus 1:]
Now the years are passing by
Lady Dragon doesn't fly
She lies in her keep
Tryin' to sleep
Forever she dreams a river full of tears and sorrow
Longing for neverending love
The mighty dragon in her lair
She met a king with golden hair
He wanted the treasure
She wanted love and pleasure
He tried to cut her wing
Just one breath did kill the king
[Chorus 2:]
Still the years are passing by
Lady Dragon doesn't fly
Almost lost her wing
By the evil king
Forever she cries a river full of tears and sorrow
Longing for neverending love
[Solo]
[Chorus 1]
Green fields of past life
Turned into greyness of mind
Yesterday's laugh in eyes
Of the children gone
In the winds of time
Lost in the stream of life
Sweet memories of the time forgotten
Things that I have lost
Falling leaves in the hands of time
That have turned into sands of
Hourglass that's counting our life
The cold fields have now frozen
And what was green has faded
The silent wind whispers voices
Of the children gone away
In the stream of life
Beauty forever gone
Feelings of nothingness
Surrounding me
Silently it fades away
Leaving me alone
In this time before the light
Twilight of tomorrow
Finally I can sleep
Forgetting everything
[Words: Orjatsalo]
[Music: Keranen]
Gazing (at) the sky
On a clear winter's night
Moonlight lighting the path for me
High in the sky
A star seems to fly
A falling star, it will be my guide
Maiden is dancing
Enchanting the man
But in the end, who's in command?
With his sword of might
And his love by his side
He is ready to face the world
[Pre-Chorus]
Follow the star
It will lead you so far
Follow the light
Lighting the night
[Chorus]
Star is falling down
When it reaches the ground
I'll be there to take my toll
With my star-wrought sword
I shall honour my Lord
- But remember where it came from
[Speak]
But there, where the star fell
A beautiful maiden was dancing and singing
Stories tell that she descended from the Heavens
With the star...
But then came that time
The time of (a) great fight
Cries of war rang throughout the whole land
War tears apart
It will sunder the heart
But in the end, love will prevail
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Answer the call
But it will take its toll
Follow the light
Shining so bright
Our world is slowly dying in agony and pain
At first we were so innocent
And then became so vain
Double-dealing lawyers
Ruthless people everywhere
'Cause we didn't ever learn
To give away and share
Faceless men in towers made of ivory and steel
Selling guns and praying for peace
They can make you suffer
Make your life so unreal
There's no cure, there's only disease
(We will lost it all)
Fortune and for fame!
Time has come
Big wheels keep on turning
Time has come
Half the World is burning
Time has come
There is no escape, no way out
Time has come
Ministers are preaching
They all know the end is near
The Armageddon's closer
Soon the reckoning is here
Money is still talking
Spreading violence and lies
All mankind in it's misery
Will pay the final price
Faceless men in towers made of ivory and steel
Selling guns and praying for peace
They can make you suffer
Make your life so unreal
There's no cure, there's only disease
(We will lost it all)
Fortune and for fame!
Time has come
Big wheels keep on turning
Time has come
Half the World is burning
Time has come
There is no escape, no way out
[Words: Makinen]
[Music: Keranen]
Though sky he was, not blue or white
And wherever the winds were breezing
Clouds of black were falling down
And rain that was freezing
When the lightning struck
The moonlight was plain and pale
And blinking sky still silent as death
Staring from the above
We felt the ghostly face of night
And the damp covering its might
Sitting on the rock beyond the life
We stared again at the sky
Then the lightning struck the tree
Standing fearless on the hill
It was whispered to us to come by it
And feel the powers of nature so free
And now the nightingale was singing
Heard by two adventurers smiling
Under the moon that was now full
And mother nature in its infinity
Still the betrothed are sitting beyond the life
And wondering the glory and the adore of night
And the eternity continues as the freedom
She was a slave not a wife
There was nothing in life
That she could care for
She had no respect
There was only reject
All around her
Once she had a dream
Of something she had never seen
Of someone in a beautiful scene
A figure of man in black
Said there was no turning back
"Take my hand and come with me".
He said, "We can fly, fly, fly... fly, fly, Fly!"
[Chorus:]
Now Fly, fly, fly - You and I
Above so high - We can fly
You and I - Now fly!
Was it real or dream?
She could still feel the wind
Blowing her hair and skin
A figure of man in black
Told her that he could come back
In change of her useless life and soul
They could fly, fly, fly... fly, fly, fly, FLY!"
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Orjatsalo]
Look to the mirror
What do you see?
Beneath the shadows
Hiding your face
I can see hatred
Consuming fear
There is no reason
No cause to live
Beneath and buried deep down
There still is hope
Come with me follow
Way to the light
[Chorus]
Crying for sake of our sins
Weeping for our fate
Quietly I face pouring rain in the night
Washing our faces where we stand
Sign of desperation
I slowly walk from the light
[Solo]
Beast stirs in its sleep
Feed the flames, fester hate
Burning embers, fiery eyes
Spill your blood, you will die!
Whispers of darkness, lead you astray
There is no truth in those
Heart still beats, there's life in you
where there is life, yet hope still remains
In darkness I feel
Kind of silence
Fear is the key
To open that door
Embrace my wounded heart
Take me to dark
Follow path of hate
New meaning to my hateful life
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Orjatsalo]
Gather ye 'round me, and do bend your ears
For this story you're about to hear
Intriguing tale of deceit and sin
Of honor and duty as well
[Bridge]
This story takes place in our city of gold
A place I once hailed my home
Ruler the king with heart so cold
His greatest desire to own
[Chorus]
So hear my tale, sing with me
Of that never fullfil
Greed of old, fools gold
Decay on our rulers heart
Burning the bridges, the road to home
He yearned only treasures to hoard
Sealing our fate he set his sight
For gold 'way from the light
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Music: Vuorinen, Words: Tyni]
Fading moment, fading memory
A faint wraith of the past
(yesterdays fainting ghost)
Grieving nation, weeping love
Shattering dream of the past
(yesterdays fragile dream)
Forever crying for it's pain
Eternally missing you
Forever sensing your scent
Eternally recalling your words
Whisper it to the wind
So shall it vanish
Blow it to the sand
[Words: Keranen]
[Music: Keranen]
In my dream I was in a valley
By waters clear as ice
Trees and mountains that surround me
Nothing so beautiful have I ever seen
Can a place like this these days still exist?
A place people haven't destroyed yet
There's no pollution, just fresh air
There are no men who wouldn't care
This is the paradise where I want to stay
Where no one else can find a way
Where the Rainbow Ends
There I go, there I mend
There's the land of the free
There's the place where I want to be
There I go - Where the Rainbow Ends
Mystery of this place keeps fascinating me
It preoccupies my mind, time after time
When I look at the sky and I see birds fly
It's a play at my theatre
Into this dreamland I always come back
Where my life goes on in the same, safe track
Take my hand and come with me
I'll show you the place you've never been
This is the paradise where I want to stay
Where no one else can find the way
Where the Rainbow Ends
There I go, there I mend
There's the land of the free
There's the place where I want to be
There I go - Where the Rainbow Ends
[Solo]
[Words: Keranen]
[Music: Keranen]
I'm watching the nightly sky
Like looking for answers from there
How am I going to say goodbye?
To you, the only one I care
Who knows what is my destiny?
Why (do) I have to escape my feelings?
And run with so much pain inside of me
Can I survive and forget everything that I feel?
Can I cover myself up in a veil of steel?
For no reason at all
I deny my feelings
I escape my life
I picture your face in my head
It makes me lose my mind
And all the feelings that I've thought dead
Wake alive
Now when years have passed from that night
When I fled and left you alone
Carrying new life by your inside
How have you got on, is everything all right?
These thousands of thoughts in my mind
Without answers at all
[Chorus:]
Time of Fatherhood
Then too much for me
I snuck out of your life, like a thief
Forgive me, no escaping anymore
[Words: Ahola]
[Music: Ahola]
With the winds of fortune they went
Out to the sea to find land of the free
Set their sail for the setting of sun
Placed their hope in the journey begun
Hear the captain cry his commands
Feel the swaying of the ship, Can you
see the approaching storm?
That will take, will take it's price
[Chorus:]
Sail, sail, sail away, now
Dream, dream of green shores
Sail, sail, sail away, now
May the gods help on your way
May the fortune play part in this play
Fifty men and fifty souls
Placed their lives for the honorable goal
Set their sail for the setting of sun
Placed their hope in every single one
Hear the sailors cry for their life
As the sea cries for more, Can you
see the mast in the ocean
Sea will take, will take it's price
[Chorus:]
Sail, sail, sail away, now
Dream, dream of green shores
Sail, sail, sail away, now
May the gods keep from going astray
May the winds whisper the way...
Sail, sail, sail away, now
Dream, dream of green shores
Sail, sail, sail away, now
Sail to the haven of souls
Without a hint, out of the blue
My entire world fell apart
In their lust for power
My foes they went too far
They sent a man into my home
An assassin second to none
I only caught a glint of chrome
And saw his work was done
Tormented you will be
Revenge I will feed
No matter how you plead
Tonight you shall bleed
He got away and left the town
But he left me a trail
Enough for me to hunt him down
And I will make him pay
Tormented you will be
Revenge I will feed
No matter how you plead
Tonight you shall bleed
You stole all I had and you vanished in the night
The circle's complete now and I take your life
Like a clean, shiny on
On your uncharted skin
It's creamy cover, the raspberry spill
This steely lover is ready to kill
Tormented you will be
Revenge I will feed
No matter how you plead
Time after time
You close that door
And say to me:
Can't stand no more
But every time
When I'm away
You call to me:
Please come and stay!
You know it's hard to carry on
If you don't love me anymore
You say you need to lean on me
But can I too, lean on you
Want it all
To be young and free
Have family
But can't you see
You can't decide
What's right or wrong
Don't think no more
It's time to go
You know it's hard to carry on
If you don't love me anymore
You say you need to lean on me
But can I too, lean on
You talk me 'bout
Your self esteem
How you think
I've flushed it down the drain
You know the mirror
Hanging at your wall
Take a good look in it
And you'll find the real cause
You know it's hard to carry on
If you don't love me anymore
You say you need to lean on me
But can I too, lean on
You say it's hard to carry on
If you don't love me anymore
You say you need to lean on me
A song for those
Who have wasted all
The love for life and inner beauty
The medley of the
Archived values
To ease for a second
The weight of torrid world
Spread your wings, do not look back
Poetic justice
Denied and feared
Gladly coped
With crocodile's tears
Like witches burned
The humble and the poor
Lunacy and heresy
Burned by the mob at dawn
Now break your shackles and fly
[Chorus:]
Gift of life turned into
Battered routine
Cry in the crowd
The fragments of solace
Blown by the wind
Like ash of the urn dies
Burn-out race
"Behold from above and below,
The anguish on a path called life.
Tiny figures strive to survive
Oppressed by suicidal pride."
IN THE END THE WAY TO REDEMPTION
WAS JUST A DAYDREAM - NAIVE MIRAGE
AND FOR THE BLIND A TRAIL OF RAZORS,
WHERE EVERY STEP BRINGS PAIN AND ANGER
Could I please have emotions?
Could we please have needs once more?
If we just open our hearts
Maybe there's hope for us again
I ask you to join me in this dance
In the alley of shattered dreams
We're not alone in this cold place
Where blessed are the insane
We build our sanctuaries
Se deep within our hearts
A song for those
Who gave up the hope
It's not unheard of
To be doubtful and ashamed
Now take my hand
Look me in the eyes
We are safe now
If we just stay together
Now sing it, sing like a star!
Like the blind who envy those who see
Little children rebel against the creed
They believe there is nothing left to tell
But the truth is stronger than their shells
What the poets said is left unsaid
And lady beauty weeps on her death-bed
She was pierced by your trends and deception
Hugs Suffocated by your sterile preconception
It's hard to find, even to forget
This great new veil lies overhead
It hovers like a sickening plague, like a plague
A Great Shadow
Deafening, sickening
Waiting for the reckoning
Beckoning, bickering
Searching for the Light
A Great Shadow
Deafening, sickening
Waiting for the reckoning
In their minds, searching for the Light [x2]
Pleas a true emotion, meat deaf ears
Only crocodiles are shedding tears
And the masses reaching for their grave
Are too numb to even feel the shame
Whenever prophets raise their voices
Middle legions say they're being exploited
They prefer fake liberty without goals
In a constant puberty, under control
It's hard to find, even to forget
This great new veil lies overhead
It hovers like a sickening plague, like a plague
A Great Shadow
Deafening, sickening
Waiting for the reckoning
Beckoning, bickering
Searching for the Light
A Great Shadow
Deafening, sickening
Waiting for the reckoning
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: M¤kinen, Orjatsalo]
The garden, where we walked together
As the wind was breezing, whispering
Where we played with innocent smiles
Under trees and leaves of green
Leaves fell silently icy ground
Flying away with the northern wind
And they shine as silvery stars
That fall on your nightly face
[Bridge 1]
So hear my voice, come with me
Dream of eternity
Join me and sing
Tale of that silent night
[Bridge 2]
Sing with me, dream my dreams
For me and for you
Under the trees, growing forever
Garden of eternity
[Chorus]
And we sing together as the winds called our names
Eternally our lives entwine as vision foretold
In that summernight, where shadows are warm
An eagle cries high that melody so old
[Solo]
We shared the realm of secret dreams
And eternal stars lightened the dark
The moon blessed your glittering tears
As you cried for our destiny
In the twilight of shimmering stars
Garden embraced by winter's heart
Your hands holding me and burning the fear
Forever within my heart
[Bridge 1]
[Bridge 2]
Now take the stage
Take your positions
Then swallow your fears
You can't turn back now
Spreading your soul
Selling yourself
In each an every town
The crowd meets their clowns
Excited, ecstatic
You're facing your true self on this stage
And in the crowd - there is no difference there inside
'cos we all hide our clown's face down within
And we all are more than what we say
And they stare right into the eyes of the clown
The play goes on and on and truth may be found
Ascending high above the crowd
Yet tears are falling down
From the eyes of the clown...
Fights flashing bright
And the show is on
Like no end in sight
The beast takes his bite
Surrender to him
And let yourself go
But be prepared to die
Still one more time
Excited, ecstatic
You're facing your true self on this stage
And in the crowd - there is no difference there inside
'cos we all hide our clown's face down within
And we all are more than what we say
And they stare right into the eyes of the clown
The play goes on and on and truth may be found
Ascending high above the crowd
Yet tears are falling down
[Music: Ker¤nen, Words: Orjatsalo]
A journey through my mind
Beyond the wheel of time
To the darkness 'hind my eyes
All those years in vain I fled
My fate I tried to escape
Lost my cause from the start
[Bridge 1]
Falling freely
On wings of will
My fate was sealed from the start
[Bridge 2]
Crying my pain
For your sake
For love that never fades away
[Chorus]
Mindless, like a pawn
Misleaded by darkness
Shadows, mere memories
Of time that could have been
Silently I face you
Believing once again
In my fate - Chosen One
[Solo]
[Bridge 1]
[Bridge 2]
[Words: Orjatsalo]
[Music: Keranen]
Time, only time, but it's flowing
Covering our lives with its sand
Memories, flashbacks, from the time that's passed
Slowly, mind fades, it happened too fast
Going back to that silent vale
Where those whispers first called me to stay
Whispers come back, mind loses track
I won't let it touch my lies
Howling, screaming, burning inside
I will not bow to you
See your wrath and loathing increasing
Feel the warmth of suns' appealing
Burning, twisting, you're not so strong
Oh, you are wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me wings so that I could fly
Give me insight to see all those lies
Give me a stronger soul that will not bow
Give me the strength to go
[Chorus]
Give me my wings so I could fly
Beyond the reach of lies
I will go back for awhile
Over shards of our lives
Future holds me no prize
